The keys, specifically made to fit each watch, often were decorated so beautifully that they were worn as jewelry.
A hobby that after almost forty years, resulted in a collection of about twelve hundred keys, no two alike. They are described in this volume, which contains 122 photographs, 38 in color. The book also contains anecdotes of some of the Smith's experience while pursuing their hobby.
